The presidentвЂ™s remarks about miscreants on the force come after weeks of protests, some of which have resulted in violent riots, following the police-custody death of George Floyd. Los Angeles Police Department commander Cory Palka stands among several destroyed police cars in Los Angeles, Calif., on May 30, 2020. вЂњOur police have been letting us live in peace, and we want to make sure we donвЂ™t have any bad actors in there,вЂќ Trump said, adding that he believes вЂњ99 percentвЂќ of officers are вЂњgreat people. The president sought to set the record straight on cases of misconduct by police, saying that the actions of several вЂњbad actorsвЂќ were limited in scope and should not taint the accomplishments of broader law enforcement structures.

There wonвЂ™t be dismantling of our police, and thereвЂ™s not going to be any disbanding of our police,вЂќ he said. Trump said pointedly he opposed efforts to cut funding to police departments. IвЂ™m very proud of that,вЂќ Trump said, adding, вЂњThey protect people, risk their own lives for people theyвЂ™ve never seen before-people, in many cases, they donвЂ™t know.вЂќ ItвЂ™s because we have great law enforcement. Speaking at a meeting with law enforcement officials and officers at the White House, Trump praised police for the nationвЂ™s low crime numbers and acknowledged their service. President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr on Monday spoke out against the вЂњdefund the policeвЂќ movement, a multi-hued effort that in its extreme application proposes disbanding police departments entirely in favor of ill-defined alternatives.
